Windows Configuration Audit Compliance File Reference
The basis for Windows .audit
compliance files is a specially formatted text file. Entries in the file can invoke a variety of
"custom item" checks such as registry setting checks, as well as more generic ones such as local security policy setting checks.
Examples are used throughout this guide for clarification.
This section includes the following information:
Check Type
All Windows compliance checks must be bracketed with the check_type
encapsulation with the "Windows" designation and also specify version "2":
<check_type:"Windows" version:"2">
This is required to differentiate Windows .audit
files from those intended for Unix (or other platforms).
